Its going to take months - if he passes again. Certainly a distinct possibility Packers draft a TE before Finley gets green-lighted (and really IF). I firmly believe that the Silver Fox drafts a WR AND a TE fairly early - like within the first four rounds. If the Packers get awarded a 3rd round comp, you may see WR and TE picked before the third day of the draft.

Wouldn't surprise me either, NYPack. With Jordy and Cobb due for paychecks next year and TE being less than productive, it seems to make sense. Quarless is part of the equation but is not the answer.

Homer Jay: Seattle restructured the contract for their TE (Zach Miller) and have a bunch of others as well (Travis Beckum, for instance). I think they were just telling Finley he has another place to land if he opts for a one-year on-the-cheap type contract.

I feel for B.J. 330 pounders playing in the middle are easy targets for vicious cut blocks, and even clumsy tackles falling on your knees and ankles. Insurance for this position must carry very high premiums.

I like the HUNGER GAMES analogy. However, this may not have been GB's strategy in all 4 deals. Sometimes, when a team & FA are not able to agree to terms on a long term deal, they are able to work out a short team deal.

The approach that the Packers are taking this year is really what all of us fans should applaud. I have read so many blog entries that ask for contracts that pay for play. In essence, that is exactly what is going down in Green Bay. Seemed to work for Crosby and Sheilds last year... lets hope it works again this year.
